This documentary was included as an extra disc in the first 3000 pressings of "House On Straw Hill" an what an interesting show it is. I hadn't had the chance to see this until now.
If you don't know much about this subject I am sure you'll find this interesting and even if you do this is worth a watch. In the 1980's in Britain a silly group of Moralists headed by Mary Whitehouse began a crusade to ban any video or movie that appeared to be harmful to the children of Britain. These films included "Evil Dead", "Driller Killer" and even films like "Best Little Whorehouse In Texas".
It's interesting to note that many of the people they speak with here that actually ran this campaign didn't even have clear rules about what was what, much like the modern day Obama regime here in the USA. It always makes my blood boil when liberal and conservatives alike spout the party line about "protecting the children" and yet continue to let child rapists and pedophiles out of jail.
The documentary will show just how people can be whipped into a frenzy by the left wing media and word of mouth. The interviews are interesting and the news clips of the people involved is very well handled. Recommended!!
